Last week a new server was installed and all production work was moved over to it.  Now we are experiencing some locking up whenever someone saves to central,  We have 3 or 4 people working on a file that is about 130Mb and everyone is pulling a new local file from the central file every morning.  Each time a user saves to central or modifies an existing object everyone that is working on the project locks up for a minute or so.  Now if a user add something or copies something there is no lock up.  It seams like every time a users modifies an existing object Revit is checking to make sure no one else is modifying that object.  Before the new server this process was almost instant.

All users are using Revit 2014sp3

Any ideas of what could be going on?

Here are the general specs and setup of the new server.

Host:

Dell T420 Server

6 core 2.1 Ghz Xeon

16 Gb Ram

Windows server 2012r2 W/ Hyper-v installed

Raid controller Dell PERC H710

Volume 1 Raid 1 Contains (C: Host os) (E: VM1 os & VM2 os)

Volume 2 Raid 10 Contains ( D: VHDX files for data shares)

VM1:

Windows server 2012 R2 (Domain Controller)

C: Virtual IDE (VHDX on E drive of host)

J: Virtual SCSI (VHDX on D drive on host) Location of Revit Projects)

R: Virtual SCSI (VHDX on D drive on host)

I: Virtual SCSI (VHDX on D drive on host)

VM2:

I know nothing about the server spec so I can't comment on that.

I will suggest that there is absolutly no need to make a new local every day.  We've been using Revit a long time and have no problem with using our own saved locals.  Are you sure that someone is not really in a local?
